With the game on the line, which NBA player would you want to take the last shot?
Kobe Bryant, Lakers G…..76%
Chauncey Billups, Nuggets G…..3%
LeBron James, Cavaliers F…..3%
Paul Pierce, Celtics F…..3%
Dwyane Wade, Heat G…..2%
[Based on a survey of 190 NBA players]
FAST FACTS: Players could not vote for a teammate…. No center received more than one vote…. According to 82games.com Bryant has hit 14 game-winning shots since the start of the 2003–04 season, fourth highest in the league — but he also leads the NBA with 42 potential game-winners missed in that time…. James is first in game-winners made in that period with 17.
This is an NBA poll from the February 16, 2009 issue of Sports Illustrated.
